I have a 21 inch BRAVIA Smart TV and I am, more often than not, using it as a monitor for my desktop. I have used a VGA connector to connect the desktop and screen. But the problem is that I get a resolution that is 1024x768 (square screen resolution) which is stretched on the TV to fill screen.
Is there a way to connect via VGA and get a widescreen resolution like 1366x768 or larger (if supported by the display)?
I have heard about this problem's resolution by using an HDMI cable, but my desktop doesn't have that port. So, if I use an HDMI converter on the VGA cable and connect it to my TV, will I get widescreen resolution?
1One of my computers is hooked up to an HDTV using a VGA interface and I have no issues with 1080p - widescreen 1920x1080. I would check the manual that came with the HDTV. Some TV's limit the VGA signal they will accept. It may be hard-coded in the TV to only go up to a certain resolution with VGA while the HDMI ports will do full 1080p and such. – headkase – 2015-08-14T08:53:10.123
